TORONTO, March 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Patheon Inc. (TSX: PTI) ("Patheon") today
announced that at a special meeting (the "Special Meeting") of holders
of its restricted voting shares ("Shareholders") held earlier today,
Shareholders passed a special resolution (the "Arrangement Resolution")
approving a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the
Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA") pursuant to which JLL/Delta Patheon Holdings, L.P.
("Newco") will indirectly acquire all of the issued and outstanding
restricted voting shares of Patheon. Newco is sponsored by an entity
controlled by JLL Partners, Inc. ("JLL") and Koninklijke DSM N.V.

Assuming the Arrangement is completed, Shareholders will be entitled to
receive US$9.32 in cash for each restricted voting share they hold. All
of Patheon's outstanding options will be deemed to be vested upon
completion of the Arrangement and holders will be entitled to receive a
cash amount equal to the amount by which US$9.32 exceeds the exercise
price of such option. All options with an exercise price equal to or
greater than US$9.32 will be cancelled without consideration. All
payments are subject to applicable withholding taxes, if any.

The Arrangement Resolution was approved by approximately 99% of the
votes cast by Shareholders and approximately 99% of the votes cast by
"minority" Shareholders (Shareholders other than affiliates of JLL and
James Mullen, Chief Executive Officer of Patheon) at the Special
Meeting.

The completion of the Arrangement is subject to receipt of a Final Order
from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the
"Court") approving the Arrangement as well as the satisfaction of
certain other closing conditions customary in a transaction of this
nature. The hearing date for the Final Order is scheduled for Monday,
March 10, 2014. Assuming that approval of the Court is obtained on
March 10, 2014 and all other conditions to the completion of the
transaction are satisfied or waived, it is expected that the
Arrangement will close on Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Delisting of the
restricted voting shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange will occur
following the Arrangement becoming effective.
